Those Wacky Crazy Canadians
(Nutra Stick Productions, 1999)
The Seven Bridges of Königsberg
The artist sat alone inside his studio
Painting what he thought seemed to look nice
Trying to make enough to suffice
And then there was the saint, not knowing how to paint
He just did what he believed was right
Wanted to stop the whole wide world fight
And then came the TV crews
Shopping carts and fancy shoes
Artist in front of crowd, speaks to all of the town
He's a genius, he is a winner
I wonder what he had for dinner
Let's give the saint a grant, he can do things we can't
And money is what makes everything
A much better world for our living
What could not be made regret
And they reeked with discontent
Artist stays up all day, he has nothing to say
But he still paints 'cause he needs money
He cannot let down anybody
The saint can't sleep at night, he can't make the world right
Thinks his life's a waste and stops caring
No one else gives a damn about sharing
So Then
The artist said "I'm no artist," The saint said "I'm no saint
"And I just cannot live up to what all these people think"
